The 32-year-old call centre worker said: ‘I was on my motorbike trying to get to work in Romsey.

‘As I left Fareham and got to the top of the roundabout I had no idea how bad it was. It seemed like normal traffic to start with but when the light went green and nobody was moving I knew something was wrong.

‘I could see a whole load of emergency vehicles on the M27. It was a bit insane.

‘There were at least two or three fire engines that went hurtling through the traffic.’

He added: ‘It’s one of the worst crashes I’ve come across directly.’

Delays of up to 90 minutes have been reported.

Fire crews stood down at 8.51am.
